While many of you may know South Africa as a destination for spotting the Big 5 on safari, the scenic city of Cape Town, or even the bustling, business-focused Johannesburg, a stop in the Cape Winelands is a must during your trip. That’s why we created the perfect Cape Winelands tour and itinerary from Cape Town that you’re going to want to steal… and the best part is we’re giving you ALL the details on this podcast episode!

Whether you’re a fan of the classic, dry Cabernet Franc, or a semi-dry Chenin Blanc this podcast is for you. And we absolutely cannot forget South Africa’s iconic wine: Pinotage. Listen as we discuss all of the wineries we visited, our opinions and why we chose those stops on our tour, and the best tips for traveling around the wine region of South Africa.
